HP EliteBook 1611C - An Intel "Sandy Bridge" laptop
which model served as Intel's Software Development Vehicle for Sandy Bridge. This
laptop features an Intel Core i5 2520M with HD 3000 graphics, 4GB of RAM, and
a 160GB Intel SSD.

All three laptops were loaded with an updated Ubuntu 13.04 stack boasting the
Linux 3.8 kernel, Unity 7.0, Mesa 9.1.3, and the GCC 4.7 compiler.

These comparison benchmarks were limited to other recent Intel mobile laptops
within our labs and the benchmark results are for reference purposes comparing
the high-end Intel Haswell laptop performance to previous-generation Sandy Bridge
and Ivy Bridge laptops. All benchmarking was handled in a fully automated manner
using the Phoronix Test Suite
